Good but not great |
I purchased these primarily to use while flying. I have tested them on one trip so far and, while they do indeed work, they are not as good as I had hoped. However, I have never used noise-cancelling headphones before so it is possible my expectations were too high. From everything I read the Bose QuietComfort II headphones are the gold standard, but they were outside my budget. The PXC 250's do indeed reduce the roar of the jet engines to a dull background hum, and it was certainly easier to hear music and DVD's. The quality of the sound is pretty good in my opinion although I do not claim to be an audiophile - they are certainly better than any of the earbuds I own.
One great advantage is how they fold up and pack neatly into the included high-quality carry case. They fold up smaller than any of the other headphones I looked at. That was a large factor in my decision. They are also pretty comfortable.
In short, I would recommend these headphones for the noise-cacellation feature, but do not expect miracles. I am sure there are better noise-cacelling headphones available but probably not with this combination of price point and portability. |

good electronics, bad design |
| I have the phones for about a year. The noise cancellation is probably as good as it gets, you still can hear what's going on outside, but the train or city street noise (New York!) is suppressed a lot. However, the design is terrible, First, I did not realize from the picture that the phones are small, and are sitting on my ears, not around them. But the most ugly part which is not on the picture is the amplifier, which is big like a very fat pen or a small sausage, and sits in the middle of the cord, so one has to clip it to something on one's close separately. It might be OK if you are sitting in a plane, but not too good if you are trying to exercise. |

Set your expectations low with the PXC 250 |
Yikes. I had high expectations for a (...) pair of headphones, and the Sennheiser PXC250's really let me down. First of all, the audio quality of these stink. Very tinny highs and non-existent lows. Not to mention, the noise cancellation technology really is nothing more than a hiss generator and volume booster that drown out the ambient sounds. The headphone cord is too short, and the power/control unit for the noise reduction is heavy, big, and always gets in the way.
If you want noise cancellation, spring for the Bose. Otherwise buy a better sounding headphone (my cruddy Labtec that I was replacing sounds better) and cranky the volume yourself! |
